Dessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food but sometimes of a strongly-flavored one, such as some cheeses. The word comes from the French language as dessert and this from Old French desservir, "to clear the table" and "to serve." Common desserts include cakes, cookies, fruits, pastries, ice cream, and candies.

The word dessert is most commonly used for this course in U.S., Canada, Australia, and Ireland, while sweet, pudding or afters would be more typical terms in the UK and some other Commonwealth countries, including India. According to Debrett's, pudding is the proper term, dessert is only to be used if the course consists of fruit, and sweet is colloquial. This, of course, reflects the upper-class/upper-middle-class usage. More commonly, the words simply form a class shibboleth; pudding being the upper-class and upper-middle-class word to use for sweet food served after the main course.

Desserts are often eaten with a dessert spoon, intermediate in size between a teaspoon and a tablespoon.

A. google "no bake candies" i think that is your round ball, don't have the recipe on hand... this is a good one tho' not a cookie but so yummy and easy and pretty durable-- chocolate pecan turtles you need small pretzel knots or squares, rolo candies and whole pecans-- heat oven to 200 degrees, lay out all the pretzels on a cookie sheet, top each one with a rolo, stick in the oven for just a few mins, just enough to soften the rolo, keep an eye on them, they shouldn't melt down or look any different, my oven this takes about 2 mins. take them out of the oven and press down on each rolo with a whole pecan. since you are just barely warming the rolos none of the chocolate should leak thru the pretzel holes. move off cookie sheet and let cool… [cont.]
